Man City agree deal to sign Chelsea star Fernandez — Reports

Manchester City have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez for £125 million. This transfer would equal the British transfer record. Fernandez originally joined Chelsea from Benfica in 2023 for a then-record fee of £107 million.

According to KahawaTungu, the two clubs have been negotiating over the past 24 hours and have now reached an agreement. Fernandez will undergo a medical ahead of signing a long-term deal at the Etihad Stadium, with personal terms not expected to be an issue.

Fernandez had not been involved in Chelsea's recent matches against Brighton and Luton, with reports in Argentina suggesting he had asked to be left out of the squad. City manager Enzo Maresca is keen to work with Fernandez again, having previously done so during Maresca's time at Chelsea.
